Laptop and Notebook Disassembly and Hardware Repair Guide Beállítások

[Guest_viacoinftr_*]

great one, in a year I open about a thousand laptop that's 4 a day...
why don't you do a guide on the hp tv series...I find those so annoying

I tried to make this one general so that it would apply to all notebook designs.
I don't personally own an HP, let alone a tv series one, but I completely agree with you...those things have twice as many screws and cables and secondary boards as other notebooks. The design is just insane.

hi frozenlead, thanks so much for your tutorial, it sure is detailed and helpful!

i actually have the same exact laptop you used in the pictures (toshiba satellite a 100), and i need to clean the heatsink. so my question is, should i indeed stop at the point you tell us to stop (in red) in order to get to the heatsink?, or do i need to take the whole thing apart basically?

Thanks so much for your help!

I'm glad it helped you out!

How much you want to clean the heatsink will determine how far you should disassemble the notebook. If you want to completely clean it and make it like-new, you only need to get to the point where you can see the heatsink unobstructed in step 10, but you don't need to remove the motherboard or anything farther.

You can clean the heatsink without even dismantling the notebook by blowing compressed air through the vents, but this doesn't do as good a job as removing it will.

Thanks for the tutorial frozenlead, its taken away a lot of the uncertainty i have of fiddling around inside laptops!
I was just wondering if the machine in the tut, the Satellite A100, is basically the same inside as the Equium A100? Specifically, is the cpu removable?

I have an Equium A100 027 that belonged to my partner and i need to replace the cpu, or at least i think that's what it needs to get it working again.
The machine will no longer power up and before it died completely, it used to suddenly cut out with no warning while in use. This would happen whether it was running on mains power or from the battery.
The period of time it would take before the machine would cut out gradually became shorter and shorter - it went from lasting about an hour or two until eventually it wouldn't even stay on long enough to finish POST.

By the time i got my hands on it, the machine was basically a doorstop. I think the cpu had been running too hot, maybe the fan wasn't spinning fast enough or something, and its caused permanent damage to the cpu over time. Which is why i want to replace it if possible and save myself the expense of buying a new laptop.

thanks a lot for this detailed tutorial. I'm about to open up my laptop as well. I have the Satellite Pro A100 and I think the cable connecting my graphic card and LCD is somehow broken/loose, don't know. My LCD won't show anything anymore, except for the backlight LEDs. I then connected an external CRT monitor to my laptop with a VGA cable and it works. So I think it must have something to do with the cable.

I don't have any warranty left so I wanted to 'fix' it myself. So, do I have to follow your guide step by step in order to reach this cable?

Thanks in advance, Stefan!
